About The Firm

RDDJ has specialized in litigation since 1966.

Over those five decades, RDDJ’s attorneys have been recognized for their work in handling significant and challenging cases and for their commitment to the highest levels of professionalism. Hallmarks of the Firm’s culture are its attorneys’ work ethic, service in leading professional organizations, and commitment of time and resources to pro bono work and organizations.

The firm in its present form was founded by Robert W. Ritchie, Charles W. B. Fels and W. Thomas Dillard and quickly gained a national reputation. Through the years, the firm has grown and evolved to specialize in a variety of practice areas to serve its clients.

Our Work

In stark contrast to lawyers seeking volume practices, the Firm is selective in the cases it accepts. Each client, whether an individual, family or company, has specific goals and needs. Financial arrangements depend on the needs of the client and the type of case. No legal advice is given over the internet or otherwise in the absence of a written agreement confirming an attorney-client relationship. Generally, no fees are charged for an initial consultation.

Paralegals & Staff

The Firm’s culture and strength is also reflected in the experience and dedication of the Firm’s paralegals and staff. The Firm is intentional in seeking out and retaining the best and the brightest to serve its clients. Most of our paralegals and assistants have more than 20 years of experience in litigation. Their training and dedication has been a significant part of the Firm’s success for its clients for more than 50 years.

RDDJ worked on my behalf as if I were the firm’s only client.

What stood out to me was their honesty; due diligence; and that they put themselves in my circumstances and were very sensitive to my needs throughout the entire case."

Joe Espino

The attorney I worked with was ethical, honest, and always took the high road.

He had my best interests at heart 100 percent of the time. Anytime I had a problem or question I could call, e-mail, and I would get a quick response. If there was going to be a delay in getting back to me someone would call to tell me why."

Gloria Goad

The office’s environment makes a statement.

It’s a top-flight office; professional, highly organized, but not intimidating. I needed legal help and I went to a firm that exceeded any expectation I had. I can’t say enough good things about Ritchie, Dillard, Davies & Johnson."

Ryan Dobbs

What struck me about RDDJ is that, as a client, they put you on a pedestal.

They want you to be comfortable and to know that you are their priority. They were all about character and all about truth. They did for us what we needed, which was life-changing in a good way."
